the link is Educationally too much closer in practice than in official organisation. Many of my Chinese friends in Hong Kong send their children to Canton to be educated and vice versa.” This →process which-is-of-vital-importance-

for both cities could be very much strengthened 11 the University Matriculation requirements were brought into line. Not only is the Chinese taught in Hong Kong schools, not in line with that re- quired for entrance into Chinese Universities, but the science requir- ed for the Hong Kong Matricula- tion is unduly specialized with the result which does not make it easy for those who fall to enter Hòng Kong University to enter readily into the Universities of Canton However, I recognize that the leaders of both cities realize the situation and that this very loa- portant matter of educational co- operation between Hong Kong and China is well in hand.

The fourth thing that, I notice from my study window is perhaps best expressed by the difference between the word Colony, and city. Whether we like it or not Hong Kong is one of the great cities of the Far East. and the development

COLONIAL PSYCHOLOGY Finally will you let me say this; there are two ways to regard our position here. We can have what I call a Colonial psychology, look- ing backward all the time to Eng- land and to the Onancial triumphs of the past. Lot's wife suffered from a similar psychology, being a backward looking person she be came a pillar of salt. The back- ward look always breeds stagna- tion.

General Smuts, and every other competent observer, sees the next great era of the world's develop ment in the, Pacific. If we can develop a forward-looking psycho- logy we can play an enormous part, and a constructive part, in the new Pacific civilization. Hong Kong tan become the Geneva of the Far East. But there will be a distinc- tion between the Geneva of the Far East and the European Geneva: They will be the same in their in- dependent position. The difference between them is the difference be- tween economiles and politics.

Geneva essays to be the political centre of our civilization. If she has falled it is because economics is more important than politics. The success of the International Labour Office is further evidence that this is true. But in the new civilization of the Far East econo- mics is going to be more important than politics Politics will follow economica. It is for that reason that the financial and commercial experience which is avaliable in this city can be of the utmost ser vice in the new world, that will be made......

Let us go forward without fear

and without reproach to take a vigourous part in the economic re- construction on which the new world of the Pacific will be based.. At the close of the address, Mr. G. A.. O. Herkiots proposed 's vote of thanks to Bishop Hall for his interesting talk.
